IMPROVEMENT IN BASE-BURNING STOVESl dip gitlgrnule taunt it it time status iatart ma mating part at its time.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY'CONCERN:

Be it known that I, WILLIS S. BnoNsoN, of the city and county of Hartford, and State of Connecticut, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Magazine or Reservoir Qoal-Stovesjand to enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation, by referring to the drawings, in which the same lettersindicate like parts ineach of the figures.

The nature of this invention will be understood from the specification and drawings. I The object desired to be attained thereby is to combine utility with durability, cheapen the manufacture, economize fuel, and render it ornamental and attractive inits appearance.

In the accompanying drawings- Figure 1 is a side elevation. Figure 2 is a sectional side elevation. Figure 3 is a top View of a double-movable damper. I Figure 4 isa section showing a modified form of constructing the magazine or reservoir, with the hot-air and smoke-fiues.

Figure 5 shows an end view of the same. a is the base or ash-pit of the stove. i b is the outer wallor body of the stove. c is a double ventilated top to the body or hot-air. chamber of the stove, which covers the combustion chamber, and surrounds and holds the magazine or reservoir.

dis a' coal-magazine or reservoir, held and supported just above its base by a double-ventilated top, 0,

which covers the combustion-chamber.

e e are smokeand hot-air-conducting fiues, formed by the double damper g.

f are perpendicular smoke and hot-air-conducting tubes, which connect the hot-air chamber 6 with the smoke and hot-air-circnlating fines e e, formed by the double-movable damper g. This connection is formed apertures through the double-top plate 0, and through the bottom plate of flues e e g is a double-movable damper and flue-dividing plate, which covers and uncovers two apertures, used for filling the magazine-or reservoir, and also forming a flue, through which the smoke and heat pass into the exit or smoke-pipe 2" when shoved back in place.

This double damper, g, is open at each end, so that when pushed back by the red It, all communication with the exit-pipe i is thus cut ofi', except as it passes through said damper from front to rear, thus distrib-. uting the hot air suificient toheat the oven is evenly, which is located directly over the smoke and hot-air- -circulating fines ee. This position of the damper also closes both openingsused for filling the magazine or reservoir, and when said double damperis pulled forwardby the red It, the apertures are opened, through which the magazine or reservoir may he filled, and the course of the fiues is changed by the same movement of the damper from the front to the back of the stove, and of the exit-pipe 21';

Thus it will be seen that when the double damper is pulled forward or pushed back, it will fix and regulate the'smoke and hot-air fiues of the stove, and this is all accomplished by'one motion of the red h.

it isa baking oven, located directly over the hot-air-eirculating fiues and double damper, and is heated by means of the emission of heat into said oven fromthe former-described smoke and hot-air-circulating fines.

Z is a cover to said oven. a I

The plate 0, in connection with the outer wall of the stove and fire-pot 0', serves the triple purpose of forming a base or support of the fire-pot o, and also forming a dead or non-circulating hot air chamber between the outer surface of the fire-pot and the outer walhthereby enabling me to burn the coal at much less temper uture and less powerful combustion than can otherwise be obtained, and, also form a division between the ashpit a and hot-air-chamber b. I

The valves 10, two or more in number, are arranged to open and close apertures in the plate 0, and are for "the purpose of allowing the dust to escape from the base. or ash-box produced by shaking the grate.

The double and ventilated top e, before referred to, is cast or made of two thicknesses of metal, with open nir-space betweensnid plates to prevent it from becoming intensely heated on the outside. The openings on are for the induction of air, and the openings :n are for the eduction of air, the shape of which may be conical, or other desired shape. i 7

n is a door of access to the fire.

n" are illuminating-openings in the double top a. v

.n' are illuminating-openings formed in or through the body of the stove.

The bodj of the stove is susceptible offlgreat variation of shape and configuration. The same maybe said with reference to the whole'stove. p

The coal-magazine or reservoir is made in one, two, or more parts, and with tubes f, and secured together by flanges, or other proper means, and supported by the double-ventilated top a, near or just above its lower end, and steadied at the top by the bottom plate of the smoke and hot-air-circulating flues e e, thus supporting an unbroken column of coal from the top of the magazine 'or reservoir to the fire-pot.

I believe I have thus shown-the nature, construction, and advantage of this invention, so as to enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same therefrom. V v I I am aware that attempts have been made to efi'ectnally introduce the use of ovens into parlor or base burningstoves. I

What I.claim, therefore, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is---- 1. The double-ventilated top a, which covers the combustion-chamber b, and forms a support for the magazine or reservoir 11, substantially as and for the purpose described.

hot-air flues e e, substantially as and for the purpose described.

2. elaim,=i n combination with the double-ventilated plate a, and magazine d, the conducting-tubes) and double-movable-damper, and dividing-flue plates g, substantially as and for the purpose described.

3; I claim the arrangement of the oven lt,-direetlyoverand incombination with the double-movable damper and dividing-flue plates g, substantially as and for the purpose described.

4. I claim the double-movable damper and dividing-flue plate 9, arranged in and forming the smoke and WILLIS S. BRONSON. [I.. 5.]
